The comfort is fair for a sport bike. The seat is wide enough to move around and the ergos are good for my frame. A day of riding could be done with plenty of breaks. I could easily do a weekend at the track where our sessions are typically 20mins long with an hour or so in between.

Agreed! And with the 2025 out it seems like Ducati sexiness (although still very sexy) is going backwards. But I'll wait for my final thoughts when I see the 2025 in person.

Agreed! I'm waiting for the 2025 to grow on me but its not happening. I still want to see one in person.

Tru dat!!! 😆

I think that's a great idea! This is a very popular motorcycle and based off of the number of questions out there about making this bike street legal will provide wanted content. Let me know how it goes!

Yes it does. I also have the title and a couple of things that are different than my other titles are in the odometer area states, "EXEMPT" and under remarks, "OFF-HIGHWAY USE ONLY".

Thanks! Definitely a fitting name.

If you're talking street legal; Lights, turn signals, horn, license plate bracket with light, and at least one mirror. That is what it would need to pass inspection at my local shop that I have a really good relationship with. Then its the whole DMV circus to get it registered. I opted to keep it track only for now.

@@tebuchenself2882 thanks for the info bro you're the only person I can really find has done a in detail review

Yep, full stock exhaust. I think the GYTR version of this bike has some exhaust upgrades. I recently got my ecu flashed from Moore Mafia, have a full akra exhaust, and sprint p08 filter. Just been so busy with work I haven't had a chance to post an updated vid. Hopefully, I'll have time in the next couple of weeks plus with the weather getting better here in Texas.

@@ORNG_KRUSH thanks! You’re in for a real treat.

Hello! I used the default settings on the EJK because I thought it would be a good starting point for my mods and make adjustments as needed. For me, the default settings made noticeable improvements and feel I do not need to adjust them. I think the default is for an exhaust and air filter. I may make a bold decision to take this on the Colorado BDR July '25 and feel very good that I may have to make changes due to altitude. What do you think?

@@tebuchenself2882 thanks for the replay. Well since I fit the Acerbis gas tank of 13,5 liters gas compsumtion is not a critical issue. The ejk do a bypass of the ecu signal trought the injector sothe lambda sensor still working making changes acording presure, temperatura and emissions. With the ejk just maintain the + fuel step the controler sent to the injector. I guest the bike work ok even in high altitude. Enjoy the ride 👍🏻👍🏻

Hello! My heel on the exhaust side felt like it hung up a couple of times but ground clearance was good. However, I think most bikes will benefit from aftermarket rearsets to get them dialed in to your specs and riding style.

Hmm...again, I do not know the music. I once took my son to a musical orchestral concert when I attended a junior college. They played Beethoven's 7th symphony 2mvt. with tubas no less and it was Amaizing, I was so enchanted and so was he. This might have contained the perfect 5th but I know not. God Speed.

Hi Samrat, hello from Texas! I have done a lot of research with videos from India on the KTM before I purchased it. It seems like it is very popular there and I love the celebration at the dealerships when one is purchased. Ride Safe!

@@tebuchenself2882 yeah dude 🤜🏼🤛🏼

I own a 23 V4 pani as well and agree with everything you’ve said. The pani V4 is noticeably hotter immediately and gets a little achy in the knees for me with long distances. The SF is much cooler and more comfortable. The only time I wish I was on the V4 instead of the SF is when it’s really windy or you’re running at high speeds you’re kinda out there like a big wind sail. But both good choices I love both bikes.

Yep, I think once you get to a certain price point it becomes preference. All these bikes are quite good.

Thank you very much for your kind words and enjoy motorcycling in Europe. Still love the beast and enjoying my time and ability to ride. Life is good right now! Juuuust working a bit too much lol. Guess you gotta pay to play.

I have not noticed any kind of leak anywhere.

Yep, there has been no changes at all since 2020. Exact same bike.

Thank you! Every time I realize I actually own this motorcycle, I cannot believe it! The rear section is stock.

Indeed, and I’m being patient. My work schedule has changed and I haven’t had much time to adjust. But it will be done!!!😁

Yes

Yes it is possible but if you don’t plan on tracking the bike I might go for a 2020 or earlier. Not only do you have to and headlights and the entire bracket system to house it you have to do the other things to make it street legal. Eventually, it would have to pass state inspection then be registered and titled as street legal and you know the dmv will get there’s 💰

@@tebuchenself2882well the price people are asking for used road legal r6’s, it might be cheaper. Plus it’s brand new and has better performance!

Thanks! Yeah, I still can’t believe I’m in possession of this beautiful machine!!! The 660 is awesome and you’ll love the upgrade

No problems but I do notice that the bike heats up pretty quickly while in traffic but does cool off when moving. I plan on getting an akra exhaust and tune and have heard that the tune has the bike running cooler. We shall see...

Just pure insanity!!!

Hah! My buddies know to check on me if any of my bikes do not exceed showroom finish...I'm also that kinda nerd🤓

@@tebuchenself2882 Ha, well enjoy that brand new dual sport and perhaps one day you'll use it as it was intended for? BTW > I have the same bike with all the same mods.😍

@@robertfair1770 Will do Big Rob!!! I still have and enjoy this motorcycle. It is probably the one I will keep after the others have gone...

Yes its possible. It has the wire harness but nothing else. You would need the whole front light assembly. Brackets and housing plus lights

Man! Almost makes me want to buy another one lol. Congrats on a great bike and great deal.

Agreed, 1299 is a master piece!

I couldn’t agree more. These bikes are flipping awesome! I’m coming up on my 1st service and definitely going for an exhaust and tune. I cannot wait!!!

I also started off in the gixxer world with a 600 SRAD. Fantastic bike but the RSV4 on another planet

Yo man, congrats!!!! That’s awesome. Saturday is going to be epic and I almost can’t wait for you 😂 Yep yep…I did you YT thing too. You’re bike is something special and it’s so good, I wish every motorcyclist could have the experience. Heck of a deal for what you’re getting too. Any mod plans?

Yep, all the wires and connections are there. I bought a set of mirrors to look more street legal to break in some miles and it was plugged and play

So yeah it’s plumbed

It does not have headlights. If I were to put some in I would check ebay if I was on a budget or order a brand new set from the dealer if I had extra cash.

I would advise to see if there is a better fit these days. This is for the duke bought a while back so there may have better options.

@@tebuchenself2882 okay thanks! Just bought my rc390 last month. Any issues you encounter on your rc390 so far?

@@reghz Not for me. And I really take care of my bikes. I even taught a couple of people how to ride using the RC and they loved it!

@@tebuchenself2882 what is your mileage so far on your rc?

I have not converted this bike for street use. I know others that have converted straight up dirt bikes to make it street legal and it seems pretty easy. The process would be to add lights, horn, license plate bracket with light, signals, and at least one mirror to pass inspection. Then it’s off to the dmv and go through hoops which, means 💵

Yes, I will. Just between work and riding my other bikes it may be a minute. I plan on a full akra system after break-in. I should reach that here pretty soon

That's a freaking amazing deal! If that was my options I would have surely done that. I was watching these aprilia's and was looking at the 22 last year but was too late on the deal.

I think you can’t go wrong either way. I also left my options open to maybe get a tuono but could not pass up this deal

@@tebuchenself2882I can imagine that. Congrats on your purchase man! Stay safe

Yes. At least in Texas you could. Of course, added fees to satisfy the local DMV

Very nice! Man, you went all in with KTM. I love the color scheme as well. I find myself lifting my tinted visor up during mid ride to check how the tank pops in the sunlight

It’s a generic one off of eBay for the previous model Ktm. Minor mods and fits well. Does the job for about $20. There may be better choices out there now.

Indeed! Looking at this bike in my garage never gets old.

Yes it is. Thank you. Much joy out this motorcycle!

Would be a grand B-Day!!! The joy from riding this motorcycle is awesome. Riding out there...the sound, the bike, the power, the feel, the experience...it just makes any day great!!!

@@tebuchenself2882 are you on instagram at all?

Do you have Instagram at all? I got a few questions for you with the RSV4

@@jasontodd9302: no Instagram but if you have any questions you can ask here and can try to help. Just let me know.
